Top Business Hotels in Soraku District

I stayed at a hotel with a new concept of Marriott Hotel. When I was looking for a hotel to stay the night before to see the Shosoin exhibition at the museum in Nara City adjacent the next day, a new hotel was built where Marriott's service could be received at a low price. I immediately stayed there. The hospitality of the staff is prepared by Marriott, but the flexible response that is not particular about the format is wonderful. The facilities in the room are also new, so I dare to remove the bathtub. There is a rain shower booth separate from the toilet. I had a comfortable sleep on the large and fluffy bed. There is no breakfast restaurant, but there is ”Michi no Eki Nanzanjo Village” on the site next door. So I had a ”tea porridge set meal”. From now on, it seems that you can do it in various places such as Nikko, Gifu, Hokkaido, etc., so I would like to stay and plan a trip to explore the surrounding area.

This is a very convenient modern hotel if visiting the science park on business. 10 minutes walk away. The Kansai airport bus literally stops at the main entrance. The hotel is large but at the time of visiting pretty quiet. There didn't appear to be an any additional restaurant or bar that was open other than for breakfast. However there is a large out of town shopping area with a number of ok restaurants about 7 or 8 in a row that open late that is literally 10 minutes walk away. We tried 5 of these in our week long stay but honestly nothing stood out. The nearest train station is a good 45 minute walk away so getting a taxi is essential really. However, Nara is only 20 minutes away from Shin Hososo station when you eventually get there. Worth the effort for a bit of life. The hotel breakfast was mixed Japanese and Western which was actually pretty good and probably the highlight of the stay. Rooms were basic, large and quite cool which was actually quite welcome compared to some of the overly stuffy rooms that modern hotels tend to have. Overall functional. But the surrounding area is pretty bleak and very quiet walking around after hours. This may have been the time of year but somehow I doubt it.
